Argos Ireland Versus Argos UK

A friend of mine has messaged me online to find a cheap bagged cylinder vac and I've recommended a Numatic Henry over everything else they've so far had (cheap bagless to cheap supermarket bagged cylinder vacs) as they want something that is durable, cost effective and with a long hose. They live in Ireland, which isn't the UK. This isn't a pointless post but it makes me wonder what other places in the UK & Ireland are putting up with when it comes to general pricing and franchises.

Looking at the Argos site in Ireland (www.argos.ie...) and Argos UK reveals a few surprises. For a start, there are 12 bagged cylinder vacs on the Irish site versus 15 bagged cylinder vacs on the UK site, 6 bagged uprights on the Irish site versus 7 bagged uprights on the UK site, to the same number for bagless uprights and cylinders. Numatic's Henry is about Ł5 cheaper than the normal cost Argos UK are selling.

However, the biggest shocker is the price of some of the models that Argos Ireland are selling - Hoover Globe 1103 for 349-99 Euros, equivalent to Ł297-29 when the same model in Argos UK is selling for Ł179-99 and that's when both has been reduced to these prices. That's nuts that Ireland should be paying higher costs for a bagless vacuum.
